Fellowship and Clubs

Campus ministry collaborates with a number of faith-related student organizations and fellowship groups at SCU. For more information, contact Rev. Aimee Moiso, look for the groups on Facebook, or follow the links below. Many of these groups also participate in ecumenical or interfaith activities.

    A student-run club that facilitates "a Christ centered environment for students to grow in encouragement and love," Core's programs include Nightlife (praise worship and fellowship Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m.), women's and men's Bible studies on Thursdays, and other social and service events. 

  • iconHindu Student Council

    The Hindu Student Council is a student club that seeks to bring together both Hindus and non-Hindus on campus through spirituality and seva (service) and to promote the awareness of the essence of Hinduism in the Santa Clara Community.

Past Hillel/JSU events on campus include the Welcome Weekend Havdallah, a Passover Seder dinner, and participation in interfaith programs.
